Not sure it should be part of the telemetry lib. In any case, when implementing network communication, I encourage you to look at ZeroMQ. It reminds me this discussion for IF proxy: http://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/2580933.jp2sp48Hzj@xps/ > > One more query, can we register driver specific telemetry commands to collect > driver stats?
